Age Stereotypes in the Workplace: Common Stereotypes, Moderators, and Future Research Directions†

Abstract: The authors identify, analyze, and summarize prior research from 117 research articles and books that deal with age stereotypes in the workplace. They discover and report the most prevalent and well-supported findings that have implications for human resource management. These findings are described in terms of prevalent age stereotypes that occur in work settings, evidence refuting age stereotypes, and moderators of age stereotypes. The authors provide recommendations for practice and future research.

“…While younger workers may be more alike in what they expect from their work, and what their work capabilities are, older workers tend to be more different from each other in those respects. This aligns with the popular idea that some people are able and willing to work into their 90s, while others are burnt out, and no longer motivated at 50 (Posthuma & Campion, 2009). Thus, as older workers are very different from each other, it is insufficient to take a one-size-fits-all approach towards the management of employment relationships with older workers.…”

“…Starsze 8 wskazują na to, że w postawach pracowników 50+ wobec nowych technologii dominują niechęć i silny lęk. Pokolenie 50+ bywa wręcz określane mianem "wykluczonego cyfrowo", przy czym nie chodzi tu o utrudniony dostęp do komputera czy internetu, ale o brak motywacji do korzystania z tych narzędzi i umiejętności posługiwania się nimi 9 . Nowsze badania 10 pozwalają na sformułowanie innego wniosku, że rośnie gotowość starszych pracowników do rozwijania swoich umiejętności IT i świadomość, że jest to ważny element ich kompetencji zawodowych.…”
